I have been saving a few figures here and there over the years that most people would consider trash I like to see either extreme amounts of play wear or some other type of malicious "boyhood damage" - set on fire , burned/melted , severed limbs kid customs etc ....

Basically anything that you might say were Survivors , but just barely

I was browsing on Ebay and came across a couple card backs and figures that certainly meet the criteria

The figures themselves actually don't appear to have been played with - C-3PO has tight limbs but it looks like parts of his finish may have experienced some slight damage due to moisture and sticking to the package itself .

The Jawa appeared unplayed with as well but , when I started to take the robe off , the hood practically tore all the way off . The thread on the seams is so dry rotted that it pulls apart easier then cotton candy

I'm not sure if it is a factory error - basically just a speck of his brown bandolier paint ended up in just the right spot to look like a pupil or if it is a spot of package debris that just ended up there by coincidence

Either way I like it and it reminds me of a certain horror character that you all know I identify with

I have more Misfit Toys that I'll add as time goes by but I am really hoping some of you guys have some abused toys to share with us too

I am fortunate enough to still have all my childhood figures, they make up the bulk of my loose collection.I used to play with Snow Troopers in barbecue ash because it was the closest thing I had to snow in Australia.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
